Regardless, I noticed my SSLMutex setting was file:logs/ssl_mutex. The documentation doesn't say the file must exist, and on my system it didn't exist before 'startssl' and it didn't exist after 'startssl'. I'm curious if anyone else noticed that. Also, if "SSLMutex none" fixes it, I wonder if "SSLMutex sem" could similarly fix it. Is it just a problem with file:?
